IILFRID was so stunned by the in formation thus suddenly given him, that lie had but a confused con sciousness of the explanations which followed. He was aware that it was all made clear to him, and that he uttered the usual words of assent and conviction ; but in his mind he was too profoundly moved, too completely shaken and unsettled, to be aware of anything but the fact thus strangely communicated. It did not occur to him for a moment that it was not a fact. He saw no improbability, nothing unnatural in it. He was too young to think that anything was unlikely because it was extraordinary, or to doubt what was affirmed with so much confidence. But, in the meantime, the news was so startling, that it upset his mental balance, and made him in capable of understanding the details. Hugh was not the eldest son. It was he who was the VOL. III. B 2 Madonna Mary. eldest son. This at the moment was all that his mind was capable of taking in. He stayed by Percival as long as he remained, and had the air of devouring everything the other said ; and he went with him to the railway station when he went away. Percival, for his part, having once made the plunge, showed no disinclination to explain everything, but for his. own credit told his story most fully, and with many particulars undreamt of when the incident took place. But he might have spared his pains so far as Will was concerned. He was aware of the one great fact stated to him to begin with, but of nothing more. The last words which Percival said as he took leave of his young companion at the railway were, however, caught by Wilfrid's half-stupefied ears. They were these : " I will stay in Carlisle for some days. You can hear where I am from Askell, and perhaps we may be of use to each other.'" This, beyond the startling and extra ordinary piece of news which had shaken him like a sudden earthquake, was all Percival had said, so far as Will was aware. " That fellow is no more the eldest son than I am — the property is yours ;" and " I will stay in Carlisle for some days — perhaps we may be of use to each other/' The one expression caught on to the other in his Madonna Mary. 3- mind, which was utterly confused and stunned for the first time in his life. He turned them over and over as he walked home alone, or rather,. they turned over and over in his memory, as if possessed of a distinct life; and so it happened that he had got home again and opened the gate and stumbled into the garden before he knew what the terrific change was which had come over everything, or had time to realize his own sensations. It was such a moment as is very sweet in a cottage-garden. They had all been watering the flowers in the moment of relief after Percival's departure, and the fragrance of the grateful soil was mounting up among the other perfumes of the hour. Hugh and Nelly were still sprinkling a last shower upon the roses, and in the distance in the field upon which the garden opened were to be seen two figures wandering slowly over the grass, — Winnie, whom Aunt Agatha had coaxed out to breathe the fresh air after her self-imprisonment, and Miss Seton her self, with a shawl over her head. And the twi light was growing insensibly dimmer and dimmer, and the dew falling, and the young moon sailing aloft. When Mary came across the lawn, her long dress sweeping with a soft rustle over the grass, a sudden horror seized Wilfrid. It took him all his force of mind and will to keep his b2 4 Madonna Mary. face to her and await her coming. His face was not the treacherous kind of face which betrays everything; but still there was in it a look of pre-occupation which Mary could not fail to see. " Is he gone ?" she said, as she came up. " You are sure he is gone, Will ? It was kind of you to be civil to him ; but I am almost afraid you were interested in him too." " Would it be wrong to be interested in him ?" said Will. " I don't like him," said Mary, simply ; and then she added, after a pause, " I have no confi dence in him. I should be sorry to see any of my boys attracted by the society of such a man." And it was at this moment that his new knowledge rushed upon Wilfrid's mind and embittered it ; any of her boys, of whom he was the youngest and least important ; and yet she must know what his real position was, and that he ought to be the chief of all. "I don't care a straw for him," said Will, hastily ; " but he knows a great many things, and I was interested in his talk." " What was he saying to you ?" said Mrs. Ochterlony. He looked into her face, and he saw that there was uneasiness in it, just as she, looking at him, saw signs of a change which he was himself un Madonna Mary. 5 aware of; and in his impetuosity he was very near saying it all out and betraying himself. But then his uncertainty of all the details stood him in good stead. " He was saying lots of things," said Will. " I am sure I can't tell you all that he was saying. If I were Hugh I would not let Nelly make a mess of herself with those roses. I am going in-doors." " A lovely evening like this is better than the best book in the world," said Mary. " Stay with me, and talk to me, Will. You see I am the only one who is left alone." "I don't care about lovely evenings," said Will ; " I think you should all come in. It is getting dreadful cold. And as for being alone, I don't see how that can be, when they are all there. Good night, mother. I think I shall go to bed." "Why should you go to bed so early?" said Mary; but he was already gone, and did not hear her. And as he went, he turned right round and looked at Hugh and Nelly, who were still together. When Mrs. Ochterlony remarked that look, she was at once troubled and comforted. She thought her boy was jealous of the way in which his brother engrossed the young visitor, and she was sorry, but yet knew that it was not 6 Madonna Mary. very serious — while, at the same time, it was a comfort to her to attribute his pre-occupation to anything but Percival's conversation. So she lingered about the lawn a little, and looked wist fully at the soft twilight country, and the wistful moon. She was the only one who was alone. The two young creatures were together, and they were happy ; and poor Winnie, though she was far from happy, was buoyed up by the absorbing passion and hostility which had to-day reached one of its climaxes, and had Aunt Agatha for her slave, ready to receive all the burning outburst of grievance and misery. This fiery passion which absorbed her whole being was almost as good as being happy, and gave her mind full occupation. But as for Mary, she was by herself, and all was twilight with her ; and the desertion of her boy gave her a little chill at her heart. So she, too, went in presently, and had the lamp lighted, and sat alone in the room, which was bright and yet dim — with a clear circle of light round the table, yet shadowy as all the corners are of a summer evening, when there is no fire to aid the lamp. But she did not find her son there. His dis content had gone further than to be content with .a book, as she had expected ; and he had really -disappeared for the night. " I can't have you take possession of Nelly Madonna Mary. 7 like this," she said to Hugh, when, after a long interval, they came in. " We all want a share of her. Poor Will has gone to bed quite discon tented. You must not keep her all to yourself." " Oh ! is he jealous ?" said Hugh, laughing ; and there was no more said about it ; for Will's jealousy in this respect was not a thing to alarm anybody much. But Will had not gone to bed. He was seated in his room at the table, leaning his head upon both his hands, and staring into the flame of his candle. He was trying to put what he had heard into some sort of shape. That Hugh, who was down-stairs so triumphant and successful, was, after all, a mere impostor; that it was he himself, whom nobody paid any particular at tention to, who was the real heir; that his in stinct had not deceived him, but from his birth he had been ill-used and oppressed : these thoughts went all circling through his mind as the moths circled round his light, taking now a larger, and now a shorter flight.

  • William Blake 1 William Blake
    William Blake 1 William Blake William Blake William Blake in a portrait by Thomas Phillips (1807) Born 28 November 1757 London, England Died 12 August 1827 (aged 69) London, England Occupation Poet, painter, printmaker Genres Visionary, poetry Literary Romanticism movement Notable work(s) Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, The Four Zoas, Jerusalem, Milton a Poem, And did those feet in ancient time Spouse(s) Catherine Blake (1782–1827) Signature William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. His prophetic poetry has been said to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language".[1] His visual artistry led one contemporary art critic to proclaim him "far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced".[2] In 2002, Blake was placed at number 38 in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons.[3] Although he lived in London his entire life except for three years spent in Felpham[4] he produced a diverse and symbolically rich corpus, which embraced the imagination as "the body of God",[5] or "Human existence itself".[6] Considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, Blake is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work. His paintings William Blake 2 and poetry have been characterised as part of the Romantic movement and "Pre-Romantic",[7] for its large appearance in the 18th century.

    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Talking Blind: Disability, Access, and the Discursive Turn
    Talking Blind: Disability, Access, and the Discursive Turn Amanda Cachia University of California, San Diego E­mail: [email protected] Keywords: blind artists, inclusive design, accessible exhibit design, the discursive turn, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery Abstract The author describes two exhibits: Blind at the Museum at the Berkeley Art Museum in 2005, and What Can a Body Do?, at the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery at Haverford College in 2012. She argues for inclusive design in the exhibits themselves, as well as what she calls the exhibit's discursive elements—catalogues, docent tours, symposia, and websites—that not only extend the life of such exhibits but also expand access for attendees and others. Introduction "You're standing too close to that painting. You have to stand back to really see it," says a male museum visitor. 1 In her book Sight Unseen Georgina Kleege recounts the story of how a fellow visitor criticized her in this fashion for behaving "inappropriately" during the 1992 Matisse exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art. According to this visitor, in Kleege's words, "there is a right way and a wrong way to see" because "sight provides instantaneous access to reality." 2 Kleege didn't get the chance to tell the visitor that she has macular degeneration, and so needed to stand very close to the paintings in order to get even the most general sense of their overall composition. In many ways Kleege's experience remains emblematic of ongoing problems. The well­established discourse of museum accessibility often works against its own stated goals and I argue that this must be productively destabilized.

  • The Way to Otranto: Gothic Elements
    THE WAY TO OTRANTO: GOTHIC ELEMENTS IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLISH POETRY, 1717-1762 Vahe Saraoorian A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 1970 ii ABSTRACT Although full-length studies have been written about the Gothic novel, no one has undertaken a similar study of poetry, which, if it may not be called "Gothic," surely contains Gothic elements. By examining Gothic elements in eighteenth-century poetry, we can trace through it the background to Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, the first Gothic novel. The evolutionary aspect of the term "Gothic" itself in eighteenth-century criticism was pronounced, yet its various meanings were often related. To the early graveyard poets it was generally associated with the barbarous and uncouth, but to Walpole, writing in the second half of the century, the Gothic was also a source of inspiration and enlightenment. Nevertheless, the Gothic was most frequently associated with the supernatural. Gothic elements were used in the work of the leading eighteenth-century poets. Though an age not often thought remark­ able for its poetic expression, it was an age which clearly exploited the taste for Gothicism, Alexander Pope, Thomas Parnell, Edward Young, Robert Blair, Thomas and Joseph Warton, William Collins, Thomas Gray, and James Macpherson, the nine poets studied, all expressed notes of Gothicism in their poetry. Each poet con­ tributed to the rising taste for Gothicism. Alexander Pope, whose influence on Walpole was considerable, was the first poet of significance in the eighteenth century to write a "Gothic" poem.

  • (The Father) in Wiesel's Night As Response to the Holocaust
    humanities Article Father and God (the Father) in Wiesel’s Night as Response to the Holocaust Shannon Quigley Holocaust Studies, University of Haifa, Haifa 3498838, Israel; [email protected] Abstract: The proposed paper will begin by looking at the father–son relationship in Elie Wiesel’s Night. I will then briefly note the father–child relationship between God and Israel in the prophets of the Hebrew Bible. I will link the two challenges evident in Wiesel’s Night and in his continuing thought after the Shoah—the loss of family and the loss of God, his faith and/or his understanding of God—and note how these affect one another. After further assessing Wiesel’s father imagery in Night, I will note how Wiesel’s story, eventually making its way into the current version of Night, played a critical role in affecting the thought of Christian leaders and post-Holocaust Jewish–Christian reconciliation efforts. Keywords: Holocaust; Shoah; post-Holocaust; Elie Wiesel; Night; religiosity; Jewish–Christian relations; father–son 1. Introduction The Holocaust/Shoah has left behind countless afflicted hearts and souls who lived through its unrelenting fire, most of whose stories will never be known. But those that have shared their experiences have affected generations in the comprehension of what the Holocaust was and what unrelenting hate (of wicked people), alongside the unwillingness to stand for what was right (of “good” people who did nothing), can produce. Elie Wiesel’s Citation: Quigley, Shannon. 2021. Night is one of those stories. Father and God (the Father) in Wiesel’s memoir of his experience of the Holocaust through Night (first published in Wiesel’s Night as Response to French as La Nuit) gave multitudes a tiny window in.

  • Chapter One the Gothic and Its Revivals Yannis Kanarakis
    Chapter One The Gothic and Its Revivals Yannis Kanarakis Image 1.1 Caspar David Friedrich, Cloister Cemetery in the Snow (1817-19). 1. Introduction: It’s … alive!!!!! It is very difficult to define the Gothic as a term. There have been, of course, many attempts to do so but none adequately embraces its full range which includes many seemingly contrasting works. The term has been associated with Northern European tribes, medieval ecclesiastical architecture, and figures like Dracula, Cthulhu and Batman; it has been linked with concepts like the sublime, the uncanny or the doppelganger; and it has been used to characterize novels like Wuthering Heights, The Beloved and American Psycho, music by artists like Marilyn Manson, Nick Cave or Siouxsie and the Banshees, movies like Psycho, the Silence of the Lambs and Twilight, or even contemporary series like Vampire Diaries, True Blood or American Horror Story, to name but a few. All these seemingly incongruent instances are indicative of a term with a long historical trajectory that has been constantly shifting as a response to various socio-cultural and economic factors. In this sense, we might argue that the Gothic defies any definitions precisely because it is itself a term that is vibrant and non static, a term that refuses to die out, and which, despite its long history, is still […] alive and kicking. 9 Yannis Kanarakis A closer look at the historical conditions that gave birth to the Gothic and resulted in its rise will help us establish some of its basic parameters which account for its adaptability, persistence and appeal as a cultural form throughout the ages.
